Also, re: the title. Tchaikovsky's perhaps most famous work, Swan Lake, is (very simplified) about a young woman who's cursed by an evil enchanter to become an animal and can only be herself at night. In the end, both she and her prince die (or, depending on the production, break the spell and live).
Who's the animal and who's the enchanter here?
Of course, his other most famous work is about Russian triumph in the face of a seemingly superior foe, so...
